It is also filled with practical examples and exercises that allow readers to apply the concepts they have learned. Whether you are a student, a professional, or simply someone who wants to improve their ability to argue effectively, Practical Argumentation is an invaluable resource.In college debate, though not frequently elsewhere, the issues as a rule are immediately followed by a series of statements that show how each issue is to be answered. These statements constitute what is known as the partition. When a partition is made, each statement becomes a main point to be established by proof in the discussion. The following portion of a student's argument contains both the issues and the partition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
